Episode 015: In this episode of The Compound Commitment, I sit down with Damian and Ann Putney to talk about what it really means to stay committed. These two have been running a mile every single day for five years - rain, snow, sick days, all of it. We dive into the challenges they faced, the lessons learned, and why having a strong “why” behind your commitments matters so much.We also chat about how small daily actions may compound into big results, the difference between commitment and motivation, and why doing hard things is worth it. Plus, Damian and Ann share how these habits have shaped their family life and what they’re looking forward to in 2026.If you’ve ever wondered how to build resilience, teach your kids the value of commitment, or just stick to a goal when life gets messy, this one’s for you.Damian and Ann also share their incredible journey from small-town roots to running Putney Building Company in Spokane.
